Re: [Vo]:Strongly recommend this video about population and energy

Hello Jed,
Nice accent.
Yes, I think he is right.
He obviously have not understood that Rossi now is establishing factories
(within a year) to build LENR.
Joke aside - I think that things happen because there is a demand.
The population growth is solved, the distribution is on its way - LENR
needs to knock on the door. I think it does just not so sure if it is
Rossi, Holmlid or an unknown who will get first to market.
I would bet on the unknown. Is there a bookmaker in the group?:)

Best Regards ,

Thanks Jed,

 

Watched it all. It was worth it. It is rare to take in a lecture given by a 
statistician who is not only informative but entertaining and funny as well.

This video is relevant to this group because --

It shows why cold fusion energy is important, how much it can do, and
finally how likely it is to be used. The last question is not directly
addressed but you can interpolate. The video demonstrates that people are
not stupid and poor people are good at helping themselves and surviving.
Look at how well people world-wide have already made use of technology that
in 1963 many said they would never embrace, such as contraceptives. Look at
how much progress we have made since 1963! For example, the population
explosion is over, for the reasons described by Rosling. (Even scientists
and engineers often fail to understand these reasons, which is disgraceful.)

People who say our situation is hopeless may call themselves themselves
skeptical realists, but I say they are blinded by preconceived ideas and an
ahistoric, unrealistic, unfounded pessimism. As Rosling says:

"The problem here is not lack of knowledge, it is preconceived ideas."


None of this is new, by the way. My late mother was a researcher at the
Census Bureau. In the 1960s she described how the population explosion can
be stopped with three things: better healthcare leading to lower infant
mortality, contraceptives, and education for women. As Rosling shows, she
was exactly right.
